MSN dropping looksmart means better results for inktomi pages?

MSN should be dropping looksmart any day now - mid January - contract expires on Jan 16th or thereabouts if I am not mistaken... so until something takes it's place, all the LS results for those big, popular keywords are going to just disappear. So, presumably the inktomi results that usually follow are going to be displayed higher in the SERP - MUCH higher.... Juicy!

Is anybody else as excited about this as I am, or am I missing something?

"MSN already dropped LookSmart listings."

Then where are the directory results coming from? They are different than Looksmart's. I thought Looksmart's results were supposed to stay until the 15th. And why has msn.co.uk dropped the directory listings?
